Stainless Steel Flush Latch 70×60 mm – Marine Hatch Lock (Non-Locking)

This 70×60 mm flush stainless latch is engineered for smooth and secure locking of boat hatches and doors. Made from marine-grade AISI 316 stainless steel, the latch resists rust, acid rain, and UV radiation, ensuring years of trouble-free service. Its sleek, low-profile design sits flush with the mounting surface – with no protruding parts to snag lines or scrape feet. This makes it particularly suitable for deck installations and lids that people might walk or step on frequently.

During installation, the latch fits into a pre-cut recess and is fastened with the supplied hardware. Once installed, only the flat top plate (70×60 mm) and the retractable handle are visible. Operating the latch is quick and convenient: a single press or pull of the hidden handle pops it up, allowing you to lift the hatch or door. When closed, the mechanism pulls the lid down tight against its frame, ensuring a rattle-free, secure closure.

Key features and advantages:

• Exceptional Strength: The all-metal cast stainless construction withstands heavy loads. It’s suitable for larger hatches and doors – for example, those on motor yachts, sailboats, or commercial vessels where reliability under stress is crucial.
• Water & Dust Resistance: Thanks to precision gaskets, the flush latch prevents water intrusion into the compartment below. This makes it an excellent choice for deck hatches or horizontal lids (such as equipment lockers, ammunition boxes, fuel tank covers, etc.) that need to stay dry inside.
• Versatility: Although non-locking by itself, this latch can be combined with an additional lock mechanism (if the design allows) or serve as a secure handle that keeps the hatch closed. It’s often used for bathroom doors, cabinet doors in the cabin, or console accesses where a key isn’t required but a strong latching handle is.
• Easy Maintenance: The polished surface resists grime and is easy to clean. If servicing is ever needed, the mechanism can be rinsed with fresh water and lightly lubricated with silicone grease to maintain smooth operation. You won’t see rust stains on your deck, as the material is top-grade stainless steel.
• Improved Safety Design: By sitting flush, this latch eliminates trip hazards or injuries – an important feature for decks where crew and family move about quickly. There are also no sharp edges or raised parts to snag ropes or sails, ensuring a safer and tidier deck area.
